What happened

Human-to-human transmission of hantaviruses causing hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is highly improbable, Russia’s sanitary watchdog Rospotrebnadzor said.

Why it matters

"Rospotrebnadzor’s experts surmise that the probability that HFRS-causing hantaviruses may mutate to be transmitted from human to human is very low," it said.

Common ground

According to the watchdog, HFRS cases have been registered every year since 1978, with the incidence showing a tendency toward decreasing in the past 25 years.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
